Sonic HQ25 Years & Counting!

November 1st marks the opening of registration for any fan comic makers out there who want to join in on the first ever online comic convention for Sega's little blue mascot. Already, we have confirmations from some participating comics such as SVT's Sonic Shadows; Sapphire Luna's Shadow & Light; Rafael Valencia's Bright & Shiny Future, and more!

If you have a comic... that you want to show off at this event, go to www.svtcc.cjb.net and fill out the form with the required information. If you don't have a button/banner, that's okay. Mention it in an e-mail. If you don't have a working link, make up your link and send it in and BE SURE to use THAT link when you finally have your booth up and rolling.

If you just want to come... and be a spectator of this event, you're more than welcome to. Join us December 14th!

This treat is no trick, folks. BumbleKing Productions, the label that produces Other-M, made a huge Halloween update. The update includes the landmark issue of Other-M #20, a hefty update in Ask the Three B's!, the launch of Other-M: International, as well as other updates!

Happy Halloween!

From IGNCube:

Sega has established a new supervisory body to oversee its game production and development strategies for both console software and arcade games, reports the latest issue of the Nikkei Weekly. This organization bureau will be composed of four people, led by Hisao Oguchi of the Hitmaker division.

The creation of this body is apparently also to be accompanied by a centralization of Sega's game development, which has for some time been carried out by a series of relatively disparate development teams -- Hitmaker, Smilebit, AM2, and so on. Though those teams will retain their autonomous identity, development will be more closely supervised from Sega's central headquarters from now on.

If Sega's internal shakeups lead to a direct influence on its present and future games, we'll be sure to bring you further news on the story as it arises.
